Performance on a long-term period of time of an HVAC installation to ensure thermal comfort conditions can be evaluated by estimating the number of hours when the thermal condiitons are outside a given range. Another method consists in weighing this number of hours according to the indoor temperatures. These methods are demonstrated and discussed using data from measurements in an existing building.
